Meridians is hosting 2024 Elizabeth Alexander Creative Writing Award Winner, Maryam Ala Amjadi, for a public reading and Q&A of her award-winning prose work, "The Ice Seller of Hell." Maryam Ala Amjadi is an Iranian poet, writer, and City of Asylum Fellow at the Black Mountain Institute (University of Nevada, Las Vegas). City of Asylum provides safe haven to writers who have been persecuted for their literary work, so that they may live and write freely without censorship, risk of imprisonment, or threats against their lives. "The Ice Seller of Hell" will be published in Meridians' forthcoming fall 2024 issue, "Counterpoints."
